About Silly America
The landscape of America is full of silly little (and often big) things that some people may pay no heed to or others find as eyesores. Those are objects that might make you wonder "who put that there," "where did that come from," "what were they thinking?" These things are sometimes in the big cities and sometimes in the suburbs and oftentimes in those little towns you’d never think to go to or have driven through without paying a second look.
But these are the things that give a sense of humor and a sense of wonder to America, nostalgic entities and marvelous objects that make this country what it is. They are beautiful items that have history and reason and often drive people into places they might otherwise overlook. To some people these roadside attractions are essential to the backdrop of America.
Silly America celebrates these things. It is a tribute to the great American road trip, devoted to all that is odd in America: roadside attractions, tourist traps, peculiar destinations, bizarre events, road food, fun festivals, and more! It's a travel website and photography blog showcasing the travels of your Silly American Adventurer Val as she explores the world and seeks out all the people, places, and things that keep America weird. And it's a destination to help you plan your travels as well so that you too can seek out these crazy places and events.
